In an open letter to Obama in response to the latter’s exploitation of Newtown to advance an attack on our right to bear arms, Columbine survivor Evan Todd asks the essential question: “Whose side are you on?” Below are excerpts from the letter, via The Blaze:

Regarding universal background checks, even for private sales:

If adopted, criminals will know that they can not pass a background check legally, so they will resort to other avenues. With the conditions being set by this initiative, it will create a large black market for weapons and will support more criminal activity and funnel additional money into the hands of thugs, criminals, and people who will do harm to American citizens.

Second, universal background checks will create a huge bureaucracy that will cost an enormous amount of tax payers dollars and will straddle us with more debt.

I doubt that was a winning argument with the most profligate spender in human history.

Third, is a universal background check system possible without universal gun registration? If so, please define it for us. Universal registration can easily be used for universal confiscation.

I doubt that was a winning argument either; universal confiscation is the obvious ultimate objective for Obama et al.

Regarding a ban on guns that superficially resemble assault rifles:

It had little to no effect when it was in place from 1994 until 2004. It was during this time that I personally witnessed two fellow students murder twelve of my classmates and one teacher. The assault weapons ban did not deter these two murderers, nor did the other thirty-something laws that they broke.

Regarding a 10-round limit for magazines:

Virginia Tech was the site of the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. Seung-Hui Cho used two of the smallest caliber hand guns manufactured and a handful of ten round magazines. There are no substantial facts that prove that limited magazines would make any difference at all.

Todd asks the key question:

Why would you prefer criminals to have the ability to out-gun law-abiding citizens? Under this policy, criminals will still have their 30-round magazines, but the average American will not. Whose side are you on?

Not ours, obviously. That has been Obama’s appeal from the beginning. A political neophyte with no real qualifications and an alarming personal history did not get elected only a few years after 9/11 despite having a name like a terrorist, but because he has a name like a terrorist. At every turn he has sided against America, its allies, and law abiding citizens and in favor of our enemies, tyrants, and criminals. This is why the liberals worship him.

Todd answers his own question with another question:

Mr. President, these are your words: “And finally, Congress needs to help, rather than hinder, law enforcement as it does its job. We should get tougher on people who buy guns with the express purpose of turning around and selling them to criminals. And we should severely punish anybody who helps them do this.”

Why don’t we start with Eric Holder and thoroughly investigate the Fast and Furious program?

The Obama Regime sides with criminals because it is comprised of criminals.

Mr. President, in theory, your initiatives and proposals sound warm and fuzzy — but in reality they are far from what we need. Your initiatives seem to punish law-abiding American citizens and enable the murderers, thugs, and other lowlifes who wish to do harm to others.

If Obama were merely stupid or incompetent, the law of averages dictates that at least SOME of his policies would be for the good of America. We are forced to conclude that his direct actions are deliberate and calculated.

The Left is well aware that their arguments against guns are paper thin, based mostly on lies, emotions, hysteria, and fear. In other words, they’re using their usual tools to get what they want. When faced with factual numbers, logic, and rational reasoning, they simply change the subject knowing they have nothing to counter facts.

But don’t be so foolish as to think that will stop them. They know that the entire govt. is in the hands of the far-left, and that they may never have this much total power, or “usable” opportunities like Newton, CT. again.

What was it that Obummer’s boy in Chicago, his fellow Muslim Rahm Emmanuel said? “Never let a crisis go to waste…”

Barry’s playing to the world, and to his place in history. He doesn’t give a shit if some kids die as long as he looks good in the long run.

Given the hour and the desperate situation this Nation now faces, why are the traitorous politicians violating their oaths of fidelity to the Constitution not being arrested, impeached and punished? Politicians who introduce legislation to disarm the People should be. In Missouri a bill was introduced along these lines, but we already have a process called impeachment.

In NY, Gov. Cuomo and Senator Skelos should be arrested, impeached and imprisoned for their crime against the People and their infidelity to the Constitution that they swore fidelity to. If this were to happen across the Nation, the forces of disarmament could not so easily influence politicians to violate their oaths. The reason that politicians and judges spend their careers plotting against and outright betraying the People and the Constitution is that no one ever moves to arrest and stop them. If we continue to do business in America the way that we have, can we ever expect different results?

Why not demand the arrest and impeachment of politicians working to destroy that which they have sworn allegiance and fidelity to? If this became a popular movement, it might be a game changer and put these rats on their best behavior. Tens of thousands of People clamoring for someone’s arrest and prosecution can be very motivational.

I agree. However, there is another tool available. 18 USC 241 makes it a criminal offense to conspire to take away a person’s civil rights, with a punishment of 10 years in prison. If the justice department wasn’t thoroughly corrupted, the FBI would be arresting those who are conspiring to deprive us of our constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

Someone who fancies himself the reincarnation of dictator Ape Lincoln wouldn’t be trying to stir up Civil War Version 2.0 would he?

Does anyone really expect the elected lying crooks who make the laws to actually use those laws against each other, no matter how guilty they are? Ask Charlie Rangle what he thinks of the tax evasion laws, the laws he made, and would use to send you and i to prison for doing what he did.

No. The solution is to reinstate public hangings of corrupt and incompetent public officials.

Tchhht!!!

Criminals and mental defectives are just two more
voting blocks that democrats will never alienate.

Evan Todd is obviously a racist – not only is his skin white, he questioned ObrownMao. Ergo he’s a racist.

You have to make criminals IOT fill those private prisons: No headcount, no money.

As more and more Americans step up and make public commitments to defending the U.s. Constitution then the quicker tyranny will be defeated.

I mentioned that A TIME TO STAND by Oliver needs to be read cause it’s also Americans taking a stand. Decent Americans ‘mad as hell’ & take a stand so I recommend it.

Well Stan, he’s certainly not stupid. As for his actions, they are very clearly deliberate, as per his mentors, Cloward and Pivan and Marx.
